To Be Found

Color fades into the pines The whites of the eyes of the birch Places for the birds to perch Bark can be seen in tall lines For now, just a drizzle of rain Brings dampness and cold to the air Today, will not be so fair But, color outweighs the gray stain That is left in the sky for a while Storms just before Halloween Mix with decorations to be seen But, pumpkins and scarecrow smile Autumn is leaving its expression behind Each day, it trots some more Kicking leaf piles, closing the door Until it opens, for the winter I find Heidi Sands 10/30/21

So true and bittersweet -- yet I know that you, Heidi, will find all the joy that there is to find in winter. ~ Bear hiding in his Cave.

"Autumn in leaving its expression behind Each day, it trots some more Kicking leaf piles, closing the door Until it opens, for the winter I find" Magnificent poetry. Far better writing than so many of our States', so called, Poet Laureates. You get a Favorite!
